Bayonne Bridge

Bayonne, NJ, United States

The Bayonne Bridge connects New Jersey with Staten Island and was once the largest steel arch bridge in the world upon its completion in 1931. The arch is a massive 266 feet high and a total length of 5,780 feet long. Today the bridge carries approximately 20,000 motor vehicles per day. Starting in 2013 the bridge began a large overhaul project that will eventually raise the bridge’s clearance from 151 feet to 215 feet to allow for larger ships to pass underneath.
